Variable Number of Tweets #311

Open lapp0 opened 4 years ago

lapp0 commented 4 years ago

Ran this query multiple times with the legacy API:

query_tweets(
    query = 'alphabet',
    begindate=dt.date(2013, 12, 11), enddate=dt.date(2013, 12, 15),
    poolsize=4, lang='en'
)

I've received 4 different values now: 391, 618, 409, 188

Other users have seen variability as referenced here https://github.com/taspinar/twitterscraper/issues/270

I'll investigate the cause and try to fix today. Additionally, I'll write a test case for https://github.com/taspinar/twitterscraper/issues/309#issue-635339679 in particular
